Walmart Requiring Masks Beginning July 20

Walmart and Sam’s Club will start requiring masks at stores and clubs nationwide starting Monday, July 20, the company announced today.

Chief Operating Officers said they know some people have differing opinions on the topic, but they are following the evolving guidance of health officials like the CDC in making the decision.

The move comes two days after Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said a mask mandate in stores nationwide was “obviously something that’s on our minds.”

Best Buy and Starbucks started requiring consumers nationwide to wear masks today.
